Have you heard of POCKET tokens yet? POCKET is a new token running on the Steem Blockchain! Learn how to claim your free tokens. If you want, you can sell some to me for SBD :)

So this is really cool! @biophil came up with a way to embed a new token protocol within the Steem blockchain. The new token is called POCKET. If you are interested in reading the details about how it works, you can check it out in this post.

Here are the basics:

1. Any user with a Steem account is able to claim their free POCKET tokens by following the instructions in this post.
2. There is no cost to claim your tokens. They are free to claim!
3. To be eligible, the account must have posted/commented at least 5 times before POCKET tokens were launched (on 8/28), and agree to the fine print in the genesis post.
4. Every user that follows the instructions to claim their tokens will receive 1,000,001 POCKET tokens.
5. Transactions usually cost 1 POCKET token to complete, although there is a way to avoid the fee if you read the details in the official posts.
6. Once you have pocket tokens, you can send tokens to another user by creating a comment in the form pocketsend:<amount>@<account>,<optional memo>.
7. There is a very limited amount of time left to claim your free tokens. After that, the only way to get tokens is from other users who have claimed theirs.

I strongly encourage everyone to check it out!

The instructions to claim your free tokens are in this post:

I am willing to pay you 1 SBD for signing up and selling me half :)

If anyone wants to sell me 50% of their claimed tokens (500,000 POCKET tokens) for 1 SBD, just reply in the comments below with pocketsend:500000@timcliff,Selling 500000 POCKET tokens for 1 SBD after you have claimed your tokens. I will make all payments within 24 hours of receiving the tokens.

I will buy up to $75 SBD worth. The first 75 users to send me 500,000 POCKET tokens will be sent 1 SBD in return. The offer is valid until this post payout closes, or until 75 users have sold me tokens - whichever occurs first.

I am only willing to buy 500,000 from each user because I want you to keep some tokens for yourself. The reason I am making this offer is because I believe these tokens will likely be worth more than 1 SBD :)

Disclaimer

I think this is a really cool idea/project, but I have not fully evaluated the protocol. I cannot guarantee that it will work. I highly recommend that users check it out, but please do your own research and evaluate the protocol before deciding if/how to use it.
